According to the report, Beltline officials reduced the amount of money spent on affordable housing and sought accounting changes to make its affordable housing goals more attainable. ABI was tasked with building 5,600 affordable homes. So far, it has only created 785, including 200 currently under construction, the report says.

Gravel is the urban planner who initially proposed the concept of the Beltline. Smith is the founder of the Partnership for Southern Equity, an Atlanta nonprofit working towards balanced growth and shared prosperity in the American South.

Reed and Morris did not respond when asked to comment on the report. The Beltline did send out a press release today announcing a new partnership with the Atlanta Housing Authority “to advance affordable housing goals.” The agreement represents a $45 million investment in affordable housing between both agencies, the press release says.

“Affordable housing is a team effort,” Morris said in the press release about the agreement. “Partners like the Atlanta Housing Authority help us ensure that affordability continues to be at the forefront of the Atlanta BeltLine so that everyone has the opportunity to call Atlanta their home.”
